"I need some ideas. What are good Nurse Gifts? I've had 6 nurses taking care of me for a long time. I do have"

Topics: opinion, advice, shopping, gifts

Asked by CAK 17 months ago

Details:

a budget - but you can safely look for things in the $40 range. I already have an individual gift for each nurse, something I know that they like (something different for each nurse), but I would like some ideas for other things for a gift basket.

If you are a nurse, is there something that would be good for them for their job?

Thanks!

Consider a fruit bouquet. Around my area there is Incredibly Edible Delites and I believe they have locations around the country plus there have to other companies that also make fruit bouquets. It’s unique gift which will bring a smile to those who receive it. Following are a few examples of what you can get.

"Suggestion from the "old nurse"."

If it were me, the gift that would mean the most, would be a personal letter of commendation. It is permanent, personal, and it is free - except for your time. It can be specific to what good qualities you appreciated in each one. Give a copy to the nurse, and let her/him know you have given a copy to the hospital Admin office, or Personnel department so it goes into her permanent file.

I have notes and letters from appreciative patients that I have kept for years, and once in a while get them out. I remember each patient who wrote the note, and usually what was the matter with them. Mostly, though, they remind me of why I love my job. (Once in a while even nurses need to be reminded that they love their job!)

Those kinds of letters make the whole hospital happy, from administration down to direct supervisors, as well as the nurse who receives it.

"their job is tough, and they might need something to give them spiritual strength for inspiration..."

Chicken soup books are great books that uplift spirit and empower.
A rosary made of their birthstones,
a personalized wall clock with their name or picture in the clock,
A Bible if theyr'e Christian...
Something funny but sweet... like,
a caricature poster of each of them with best traits and funny quotes about them.
Or sexy sleepwear and lingerie sets...
stuffed toys...

I have lady friends who are Nurses [who I sometimes take care of] they are always buying and talking about soft white shoes that will be comfortable to work in, they are on their feet all day or night and a soft pair of shoes would be great. [I bet you already thought of that Wright.].

Hi All,

I am happy to announce that I am no longer an unemployed deadbeat, lol! This week I started working at a nursing agency, doing private duty care, as well as some home health visits (like for dressing changes and lab draws.) Very glad to be there, and me and my creditors are looking forward to me getting a regular paycheck. :)

However, my 20 years as an RN has all been spent in inpatient facilities: first a hospital, then a hospice. So this is my first experience doing in-home visits. What I would like is some recommendations for a really helpful book (preferably not a course textbook) that will help me get up to speed on the standard of care in the home, and maybe one that has some tips and timesavers for those new to home care.

Any suggestions?

Also, will gratefully accept any words of wisdom from home health nurse pros for this newbie! :)

Thanks,
Katherine

"Has it been taking an unusually long time from the time you click "ask the community," to the time your question submits" (3 answers)

Lately for me, it's been upwards of 15-30 seconds, and it occasionally times out. What I've noticed, is if I immediately open another tab and view all my questions, even though the page never loaded and proved to me that the question was submitted, it was immediately made available to the community.

So I end up closing the window that timed out or is taking forever to load, and work off the new window I opened.

Anyone else experiencing this same problem?

CAK, you are very welcome! Not only are those kinds of letters appreciated by the nurse personally, they are a big boost at the time for the nurses's yearly evaluations- which can mean a pay increase, or a benefit to their resume if they ever need to change jobs.
